Correct Answer :

Option A

736

736

Solution :

To find the missing number in the analogy, let us analyze the relationship between the first pair of numbers: 223 and 350.

First, we examine the connection between 223 and perfect cubes:
The cube of 6 is:
6 3 = 216
If we add 7 to 216, we get:
216 + 7 = 223

Next, let us look at the second number, 350:
The cube of 7 is:
7 3 = 343
If we add 7 to 343, we get:
343 + 7 = 350

Thus, the relationship pattern between the first two numbers is:
( n 3 + 7 ) : ( ( n + 1 ) 3 + 7 )
where n=6.

Now, let us apply this pattern to the third number, 519:
We find the closest perfect cube below 519, which is the cube of 8:
8 3 = 512
Adding 7 to 512 gives:
512 + 7 = 519
Here, n=8.

Following the established pattern, the next term must correspond to n+1=8+1=9:
9 3 + 7
Calculating the cube of 9:
9 3 = 729
Adding 7 to 729 gives:
729 + 7 = 736

Therefore, the missing number is 736.
